I certainly dont have deep-seated issues involving birthdays.

I understand this is gonna sound incredibly racist but when I ask for the background on half the words my girlfriend teaches me in mandarin and they have explanations that sound like a toddler put two simple words together to describe a more complex thing it never gets old.
Like a descriptive language is obviously very practical but I can't help but notice how juvenile the direct translations sound.
now you know how it feels listening to Americanisms.
also yeah it does sound pretty racist tbh.

reposting the dog cape story:
I [16F] feel like my "cousin" [16-17M] is ruining my life, how can I make my Mom understand?
quote:
I live with my Mom [40], my sisters [14/12], my Aunt [30's] and her daugter [6] who are not actually related to me. My Mom and her moved in together after my father was out of the picture, after my sisters were born. We've all lived together since I was 4, we're a happy and healthy family.
I should say I'm pretty shy and suffer from anxiety.
Here's what I've pieced together: My Aunt got pregnant when she was 17 to a man from Australia that she had just met. They decided to stay together, it didn't work out and a year later she let him take the baby to Australia. She said she spoke to the father on the phone maybe half a dozen times since then, and the boy only once when he was a child.
Last year my Aunt starts getting calls from police-type people about her son, looking for birth records. The father had died and no one wanted to take him, so the Australian child protection had gotten involved and discovered he was a US citizen and had no visa or anything and were trying to figure out what to do with him. My Aunt organized to take him, and some months later we were driving out meet his plane.
My Mom and Aunt had sat as down and explained this to us, that he'd be coming to live with us permenantly, all my Aunt knew about him was his father said he was 'gifted' and 'quiet'. From that I was expected a little nerdy kid my age, I was actually excited to meet him, I thought we could be best friends! When we finally met him, I almost had a panic attack.
- He's got to be at least 6'5" and he's brawny as hell, like a muscle guy. He's huge compared to any of us. I remember thinking "I don't know this person, and he could hurt me easily", he's not a boy, he's a man.
- Literally the only question he had asked my Aunt when they talked on the phone about him coming was if he could bring his dog. She said of course he could. Turns out his dog is a giant German Shepherd thing. But it's bigger than any German Shepherd I've ever seen and is fluffy like a husky or wolf or something. It's as imposing as he is.
- He didn't say more than 3 words the entire way home from the airport. He regularly cuts people off with things like "I don't need your life story" or by just walking out of the room while you're trying to talk to him. He wears headphones all the time and pretends he can't hear you.
- He moved into the basement. My sisters and our friends had set the basement up as our space for hanging out and playing games and watching anime, we used it every day, but it's pretty large and my Mom had said we would probably be able to keep using it like that even after he moved in. There's nothing technically stopping us from still using it except for the stranger and his giant wolf sitting in the corner making us uncomfortable.
- Speaking of his dog he's weird with it. It follows him everywhere, he carries it around on his shoulders (This is the worst. Ever have a man twice your size wearing a dog as big as you as a hat loom over you while you're trying to eat breakfast?), it sleeps in his bed under the covers, and I swear he takes it into the bath with him to wash it. All this might be adorable if it wasn't a giant beast. My Aunt says it was a support animal in Australia but I don't know if I believe he actually needs one.
- One night not long after he came my Aunt said he was sometimes too much like his father, and he exploded at her, saying things like it's too late to complain about that now and she should have thought of that before. It was the most he'd said at one time since he'd moved in. She burst into tears and he just walked out of the house. Super rude when she's taken him in, and it was really scary to hear him start yelling out of nowhere.
- They put him in our school, he started junior year with me. He started skipping classes on the second day, one morning he wasn't dressed, and my Aunt told he was going to be late for school, and he said he decided not to go that day and went back downstairs.
- He leaves the house whenever he wants, never says where he's going. He goes out in the middle of the night. Doesn't even sneak out, just walks out the front door.
- He drinks. Like actually drinks. He bought beer and put it in the fridge. He will drink beer with dinner and sometimes lunch.
- He watches actual horse races at night on the tv and makes wagers over the phone, and plays cards on his laptop and I'm pretty sure its for real money.
- He buys expensive things buy won't talk about where he gets the money from. My Aunt was worried he was selling drugs when he first moved in.
- Not long after he moved in, everyone was on edge and my Mom told my Aunt she needed to get him under control, and my Aunt said she didn't know how. How do you discipline someone bigger than you who pretends he can't hear you speak.
They were talking about if and how they could make him leave, and I was so relieved. Then all of a sudden they decided he wasn't so bad:
- He started spending time with my cousin, his half sister. Like a lot of time, he looks after her more than my Aunt does. His dog now follows her around the house when he's not home. He literally talks to her more than he talks to all of us combined, and she loves him. My Aunt adores him for this and when he started doing it she cried tears of joy and is now adamant that she won't kick him out.
- My Mom lays dow the law and says he has to go to school. I don't know the details but instead he had my Aunt sign some forms and organized to take a test and got an acceptance letter to my first choice college in the city (That I'm worried I won't even be able to get into at all). He's going to start this coming Fall. I don't even know how it's possible and he acts like it was the easiest thing in the world. My Mom and Aunt now think he's a genius and chalk his weirdness up to being a savant or something. I thought at least he'd be moving into the dorms when the semster started, but nope he's not allowed and has to live at home.
- Suddenly my Mom is judging my acedemic performance much harsher, and saying I need to work harder. She used to support my hobbies (My friends and I cosplay), now she comments about how much time I spend on it.
- He started doing things around the house. First just chores and stuff, then he started fixing things. He painted the kitchen, and repaved the driveway with new concrete. My Mom started talking about how nice it is to have a man in the house, like it's all we've been missing for 12 years. Now she makes me feel like total trash if I forget to do a chore because there's this freak squatting in our basement who can somehow make a new driveway by himself?? I'm supposed to compete with that??
- He offered to start paying rent. Still won't say where his money is from, we're now assuming it's gambling because it's all he does.
- He was invited to Thanksgiving, and sat with the adults. My Grandfather and Uncle loved him and made plans with him. I felt so stupid being the oldest at the kids table.
- He got everyone expensive gifts for Christmas. He got me a Macbook. I mentioned to my Mom how it was weird how he could afford it and she called me ungrateful, and told me to go thank him. (I said thank you but he wouldn't take his headphones off and just ignored me)
- I feel like he hates all of us except my niece. My Mom just says he needs some time to adjust and how he's never lived with anyone but his Dad and he must be mourning still and we have to be supportive. But it's been months and he's still like a stranger.
- After this my Mom overheard me joke to a friend that we couldn't use the basement because it was flooded with sad boy tears, and she went ballistic on me. I tried to explain that I'm having trouble coping with him and she just called me a brat.
So my Mom and my Aunt now love him now, even though he is still the same scary creep they wanted to kick out a few months ago. It's like living with a wild animal. I've tried to tell my Mom how uncomfortable he makes me and how I don't like how much he's changed our life and she says I'm selfish.
I feel like my Mom doesn't care about my feelings at all, or how I'm coping, and I hate that I'm being compared against him, even though he gets a pass on all the things he does, ranging from rude to illegal.
How can I make my Mom understand? And ideally get him out of my house?
tl;dr "cousin's" (not really related) dad died, came and lived with us, everyone hated him and was going to kick him out, now they all love him and are treating me differently, causing me anxiety but my Mom says I'm being selfish.

Do you feel it, Zach?
My coffee warned me about it.

Me [26M] and in a relationship, can't stop thinking about girl [22F] I met while traveling.
quote:
It's kinda hard trying to explain this but here we go.
I've been in a happy relationship for 2 years now, I met this amazing girl one day and we never stopped seeing each other, I even moved countries for her and now we live a few minutes away from each other. This girl is really supportive, gives me the freedom I need and we literally never argue about anything, most of the time we are on the same page, we even have LOTS of things in common, such as travelling, shows, passions, and so on...
Here comes the problem. I went abroad for a few days and met this gorgeous russian girl, we hit it off texting on the phone and decided to go out the day after. I always had this fantasy, which was having sex with a russian girl, or being with a russian girl, or whatever with a russian girl, dont ask me why, I dont know. I just think russian girls are extremely beautiful and interesting, i like the shape of their faces and i think they are hot af in general, maybe the fact that i watched a lot of russian porn and that turns me on is playing a part in all of these haha :p
Anyways, we went out, had a lot of fun, laughs and when we got horny we decided to go to her place, where we had sex for 7 hours. In the middle of it she said it was the best sex of her life (and then told me again yesterday), and I also had a fantastic time, never been with such a fun and hot chick , ever.
After having sex of course we stayed in bed, touching each other softly and just chatting about everything, getting to know each other better. It started to feel like it wasn't just a one night stand at all. I left around 6 am cause i needed to catch my flight at 12. When I woke up at my place around 9 we texted again and met for a super quick coffee...we also had a great time, then it was time to say goodbye so it was pretty sad tbh.
I thought I'd never see this girl again, and that I'd come back to my normal relationship like nothing happened after marking down this fantasy i had off my list, but apparently not. We chatted on social media with this girl and she said she'd love to come visit me in 1 month, then I opened to her and told her Ive been missing her for whatever reason, and she opened as well and said the same, and that she was feeling weird because she doesn't know why she thinks about me after just one night, but she said she really loving like me too so...
Is this just sex and me getting attached too quickly to someone? My sex life with my gf is not going well at all, we have sex once a week (maybe) and it feels like a lot of pressure, shes the best person I know but... i dont know.
tl;dr : I'm in a relationship, met this unbelievable girl abroad and had sex and a great morning after. We texted and said we miss each other a lot, she said she'd come visit and I told her im involved in something. She said that was fine but I could sense she was sad for it. Now I'm sad and confused too.

Basically a whiny sheltered cosplayer is confronted with what a human her age can do and it's life-shattering to her.
Yea I imagine having this highly capable dude around is really loving with her view of herself.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.

It sounds fake as hell, but anyway if it's real, the kid just lost his only parent and moved halfway around the world to live with strangers. No doubt there will be issues, but given how insufferable the OP is, I'd probably ignore her as much as possible too.
Also as to the money thing, surely he probably had some form of inheritance from his dead dad?

I mean he sounds like kind of a dick but otherwise a lot more useful than she is. I also don't get her constant freaking out about "the beast", since she isn't describing the dog as doing anything bad except being too big. Sounds like an awesome dog.

We're back without another round of Random Word Generator! Our first contestant is "sausage".
My [22f] friend[23f] is rude and makes inappropriate (sexual) comments to my boyfriend [25m] when I am around. It makes everyone uncomfortable. How do I confront the issue?
quote:Me and my boyfriend Brad live together and have been together for three years. We met Mandy at university through our mutual friends and we often hang out together in a group of around 5. We are all in our final year and Mandy is moving away in September. I'm not particularly bothered about keeping in contact with her when she leaves, although some of our other friends are. My issue is dealing with her UNTIL she leaves. I don't want to cause a confrontation or an argument due to the fact that she's leaving soon and it would merely make things uncomfortable for our friends. Additionally, I cannot be bothered for the stress of conflict and arguments, so I would like to avoid that as much as possible.
A little background about Mandy. She's rather upper class, very entitled, stubborn...and doesn't quite understand social cues (at least I hope that's what it is...). As long as I've known Mandy she has been very touchy feely with everyone, despite the fact that she has a boyfriend (it's a very troubled relationship, I think they aren't sexually compatible and I'm pretty sure she wants him for his money as he is very very well off for someone of 22). Mandy is known to hold people's hands, kiss them on the face, sit on their laps, stroke them, etc. Even people she doesn't know well. She is also quite blunt and abrupt (for example, she told our 19 year old friend Elin upon first meeting her that Elin's relationship was going to end soon due to the fact that Elin is so young and it's her first boyfriend. It made Elin very upset) . We knew this about Mandy but I suppose we all kind of accepted it as we assumed she only had good intentions and didn't realise she was offending people. (writing it out now I think it's becoming v. clear to me that she was always an rear end).
Anyway, over the past few months Mandy has become very sexually suggestive with my boyfriend. She would say things like 'can we swap boyfriends. Yours is much funner', 'Brad is so lovely. The sweetest guy I know' (while trying to stroke his hand), 'we could have a threesome!'. At first I just tried to laugh it off... I mean how do you respond to that? She was joking...but it made both me and Brad, and whoever else was there feel very awkward.
As the months have gone on I'm starting to feel like she's trying to test the limits of how far she can go before I snap at her. On several occasions she's said things like 'shut up Brad or I'm gonna gently caress you',upon hearing a funny story about how Brad and I were play fighting and he wrapped me up in a blanket and called me a sausage roll Mandy was like 'oooh Brad I'd love you to do that to me'.She also tries to hold his hand as we're walking down the street and Brad kind of just squirms and makes an excuse for them not to touch (e.g. eczema, his hands are cold etc).
The breaking point for me was the other night when me, Brad, Mandy and another friend went to a club. We had a few drinks at mine and Brad's first, then headed into town. We asked people to arrive at 8 (on a fb group chat) and Mandy replied "That's early. I'll be late." Bit rude since she was just chilling in her room, but that's fine. By 10 o'clock our friend messaged her "where are you" and she replied "I said I'd be late". Then when she did arrive she hadn't brought any alcohol and said she had a headache. I offered her some paracetamol, which she denied. Then, as she was the only one who hadn't brought alcohol, I offered to make her a cocktail - she said yes. Keeping in mind, it was a BYOB get-together as we're all poor students but I wanted to be kind (even though Mandy's parents give her a poo poo load of money all the time). Mandy then continues to make sexually suggestive "jokes" to Brad. Every time she did Brad and I would just look at each other awkwardly...but it didn't seem to phase her.
So, we go out, Brad and I buy her and our friend some shots and we have a dance and a fun time. As we're about to head home she says she wants to go get a takeaway. It's cold, raining and the rest of us want to go home so our friend suggests we just get in the taxi. Mandy says okay, she doesn't mind that much, and gets in the taxi. Then as we're getting in she says to me 'the only reason I came out was to get food.' and I was like 'oh, sorry?'. Anyway, as we're in the taxi Stan (our friend) starts talking about how he might go for a Mcdonalds breakfast in the morning, a drunken conversation about Mcdonalds food ensues, and I mention that they have HALVED the size of the veggie burgers there. Stan then started making fun of me because apparently my accent means I say 'veggie burgers' weirdly.
Then Mandy turns around, starts attacking me for being a vegetarian (quite aggressively) then demands that I pay for the taxi due to the fact that we would take too long to sort out equal amounts of cash and I shouldn't want to 'waste the taxi drivers time'. I know she had cash on her, but she didn't offer me any despite the fact that I'd bought her drinks and made her a cocktail.
I don't care very much about the cash or the drinks, I'm not that type of person... but it was a bit rude. That, with randomly attacking me and being, yet again, overtly sexual with my boyfriend has just been the straw that broke the camels back.
When she's made inappropriate comments before... I've said "Mandy. Please don't. Bit inappropriate to say you wanna f**k my boyfriend, don't you think?" and she just brushes it off or laughs.
I'm at a loss at what to do. I haven't spoken to her since that night and I don't particularly want to... but ignoring her will just make things awkward (she keeps trying to address me on the group chat) and inevitably she will be at some get togethers. How should I handle this situation? I can imagine if I confronted her she would be the type of person to get very defensive.
I should also note that there's no way there's anything going on between her and Brad. Brad and I are very happy, spend most of our time together...and he's always been quite verbal about his dislike of Mandy, although he is civil to her face.
edit: To the people commenting saying that I should start ignoring her and not speak to her again... I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to refuse to go to parties of get-togethers that she's at (and thus not see my friends) and I'm not willing to make everyone cater around my dislike of someone. She is leaving soon, I won't speak to her unless I have to. However, interacting with her at the time being is inevitable.
tl;dr: female friend is rude and makes sexually inappropriate jokes. How should I deal with the situation WITHOUT causing a huge confrontation or an argument? She's very stubborn and I doubt she would see things from my side.
r/relationships: shut up Brad or I'm gonna gently caress you

Why did you bother posting for advice when you won't take any advice? Maybe you deserve Mandy.

Man, if you hate a dog you automatically become the villain in a story.
Eh, there was that one story where the dog did the weirdly-aware-and-vindictive murder of its owner's partner's cat, that dog was pretty hateable.
And
This is adorable. Whenever she starts going off like that, all the guy needs to do is give her a big hug and she'll be okay.
I'm pretty sure this guy updated and this is exactly what happened.

From a search for "dorm", we get Christian fighting.
I live with christians but I might get kicked out of the religious dorm see more
quote:I am Roman Catholic and I met a bunch of Evangelists on campus at my university. I felt as if they were good people and I met a couple who were missionaries who invited me to attended bible study and other things. I thought it's a good environment since I have no friends and my roommates are not relatable or they do drugs, so I hung out with them often. Eventually I thought hey I would like to live with these guys they seem very nice enough.
I have been living with them since the beginning of last school year. Last semester I suffered a lot from my mental health but never really got any support except just pray to God, I never got a human connection, I felt alone and couldn't see if anything existed. Anyways I saw a psychiatrist and I got the help I needed to get back on my feet and felt great. A missionary got my phone number from his wife and would send get well whenever I got sick, I found it sort of rude since he never asked permission. I got a text message one time because I refused to convert, there was an Easter baptism going on and I told him I like my faith and answered his questions and explained to him why I am staying as a Catholic. He sent me Mark 16:16, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." I was surprised that I got this message especially I am baptized and it made me thought maybe he's upset that I didn't convert. After a few days I was sent messages with cringey content like Jesus loves you, some of those photos with caption he has risen, for a week. When I had to go back home for summer, he sent me a message saying that he can give me a ride. He gives off the vibes like he wants to isolate me and try to imitate me to convert since he's been rude to me secretly and his message does not sound honest. I refused and took a shuttle.
When I came back this year I brought my boyfriend over to cook and he looks like a a male model, but I don't want to sound inconsiderate. One roommate won't give him eye contact and look very angry at him, then she sees me looksing disappointed. I invited him to worship service early on in the semester, one missionary took me aside and said do I know the boyfriend/ girlfriend rules which I was aware and I stated I respect them, I haven't done anything . She told me rudely I can move out anytime and she said passively either live with them since they bring me closer to God, or get out. I felt upset since it was as if I'm in a family like environment, now I'm being judge for being with somebody that I love. My roommates or missionaries would ignore me and avoid eye contact at least majority of them.They didn't even asked if he goes to church which makes it worse since they never asked bout his background or how we met. I stopped attending their services and the missionary who sent me those messages approached my boyfriend while I grabbed painkillers for headache. He asked my boyfriend questions and blamed me for not telling me if he was Christian. Few days ago the mission who suggested me to move out told me since I'm not participating anymore I should move out by next semester, I told her I may consider but I don't have much income to do so. I even have one roommate with a boyfriend, doesn't participate, yet everybody treats her nicely, so I know it's because how my boyfriend looks like. I'm not sure what I can do in this situation since my boyfriend doesn't have his own place because his company is having issues starting and my parents don't like it when couples live together before marriage so my family will be against it if I choose to live with my boyfriend unless I can convince split rent in "cheap Cali rent" lol but if his company begins soon. I need advice because I'm being treated poorly and I'm stressed about the housing issues if I'm forced to move out. I can't move in into campus dorm because it's really expensive.
Tl;dr I live at a christian dorm, they been judging me because how my boyfriend looks like. I have been treated rudely and told to move out. I don't have a place to live until my boyfriend gets his business running because he doesn't have decent income and I can't afford rent on my own because I depended on my parents, so my hands are tied till my boyfriend starts his business soon, if my family thinks it's ok to live with him.
Another comment from the OP clarifying:
quote:Sorry I should of been more clear he never stays overnight he lives with his aunt but they judged him before they got to know him when I cooked with him during visiting hours and for mass. I guess imagine if I brought over Chris Evans and he's judged to party or drink because how attractive he is. Even though we never been to a party once in our lives. He doesn't have enough money to get an apartment with me since he's on tight budget because his company is having problems with starting, so he can't afford a place with me. It's off campus housing as well
That feel when hot dudes are immoral for existing.

My (25/F) roommate (26/M) doesn't want me taking out the garbage because of his extreme fear of opossums.
quote:I moved in at the beginning of this term with a guy looking for a room mate. We generally get along fine except for this problem. For some reason he has a severe phobia of opossums. He can't stand thinking they might be around the building.
This is causing issues b/c he believes taking out the garbage will draw them to the building. He's afraid if it sits there it could lure them inside up to our apartment by following the smell.? This makes no sense, they dont act like that and they're not vicious animals anyway. I've never even seen one around our place, and he admitted neither has he. I said there's raccoons, cats, rats, but he doesn't worry about those only the opossums....
So he never takes the trash out, instead he lets it just build up in the kitchen through out the week, then I take it out the night before garbage day. If I try to take it out more regularly, he freaks out. But I refuse to live in a dump he's ok with food and garbage spilling out of the trashcan onto the floor and there's no reason for it.
I've argued with him about this 3 or 4 times. Is there anything else I can do to make him realize this fear is is ungrounded or at least just let me take out trash when its full without flipping out at me?
Tl;dr. My roommate is deathly afraid of opossums and refuses to take out the trash b/c he thinks it will 'attract' them and they'll attack. He doesn't want me taking it out either. Tired of trash building up and fighting about it what can I do?
quote:Well, if youre commited to living with this loon then he can keep the garbage in his room. When a bag gets full, put it on his bed.

We're back without another round of Random Word Generator! Our first contestant is "sausage".
My [22f] friend[23f] is rude and makes inappropriate (sexual) comments to my boyfriend [25m] when I am around. It makes everyone uncomfortable. How do I confront the issue?
r/relationships: shut up Brad or I'm gonna gently caress you
How can I solve my problem with this obnoxious bitch who treats me like a doormat? Note that standing up for my self in any way is completely off the table.

I love the dog cape story, it's the fastest about-face I've ever done on an r/r post
